Abstract

A direct connection is proposed between the "dynamic" transport properties and the "static" topological structure for branched polymers in any number d of spatial dimensions. Specifically, the resistivity exponent is given by =dfdl, where df and dl are the fractal and topological dimensions (the number of sites within path length l of a given site scales as Mldl). To confirm this new result, we carry out extensive exact and Monte Carlo calculations for d=2, 3, 4, and 8.
